Dad Is Destiny

Dad plays a big role in the life of a child. It  is amazing what a father says or doesn’t say, what a he does or doesn’tb do and how it can give someone  a life time assignment. This is called the power of a father. The number one determinant factor of how children and citizen turn out in their adulthood , is a dad at home. The role of a father is so crucial, a study done in the  USA stated that kids who have a father at home are much less likely to be involved in premarital sex, crime or be in  an busive relationships.

Father is highest title of manhood, from a baby boy to  boy to  man and then father . A bad father is a reflection of  manhood gone south in the highest office of manhood. The word father is so powerful because, we  share this title with God. Father is the source and sustainer. So whatever a son or a daughter thinks about,  is determined by a dad. If  a dad does not do his job, everyone including the  generations  to come willsuffer  because one man who misbehaved. It is so wrong when a man goes around and distribute babies around and not be there to sustain them. You do not become a father by making someone pregnant,but became a father when you take responsibility to sustain what  proceeds out of you. It amazing how many women in this country that men have had pleasure with and now have children and have to struggle by themselves. Its a  curse and shame on masculinity. A real man takes responsibility when they have made  mistakes, so that children don’t go wondering and asking” who is my daddy?” its wrong. If a man is not ready to take responsibility for a baby, then don’t mess around, its not worthy it because what you do will affect an entire generation.

Early in life, a mother is the heroine in the life of the baby. But later  as children gets around 8 -9 yrs they begin to look to their father to be called out. Kids turn to the father to find out if they are loved or  attractive. Every child when they are 8-9 they look for a male voice to call them out and to tell them”you are a woman or a man.” Its a responsibility of a man to tell them that you are a man or a woman. Some girls go out  to date older men to look for a daddy figure because daddy was not there in their life.

What does daddy  mean to you?
